I plan to use the above units in a form of deathstar and want to clarify a few points. Barons board says that any turn he assults he gets +2 str. When do I get this? Also the harliquins can still benifit from dance of death while he is attached right? Because they both have HaR?

On your assault phase IF the Baron assaulted that turn.

If they both have it [H&R] yes, they can still use it. This means you can assault (get the +2 Str. After your opponents assault phase, Hit and Run, and then assault again on your turn. Rinse and repeat.

When he charges he gets +2 strength in the player turn in which he charges.

Not because they both have hit and run, yes the unit itself has hit and run but when you say they will benefit from dance of death you mean they will still get furious charge, right? If so, yes, the Harlequins should still get furious charge, although the Baron will not unless he has it already. I'm not sure whether the Baron himself already has furious charge, I'm looking at the Eldar version.

EDIT: 'ed

Also what about the str boon? Is that when he charges or just in assult?

Thank you. That's helpful! The baron can get FC, when he's killed two squads.

The turn he charges, ie your player turn for THAT assault phase and THAT assault phase only

The Baron has a weapon that gives him +2 str for charging and he has PFP so if he gets 2 pain tokens he gets furious charge for a very furious +3 strength.

actually his glaive provides a constant +1 str. he gets an extra +2 when he charges from his board, and if he has the pain tokens for FC add another +1 for a max of +4 on the charge. (note these are mundane attacks, NOT power weapons) as for hit and run... answered above, and FC only applies if the baron has a pain token, as he does not have the rule normally. the harlequins do however. also note that the barons rule "master of the skies" only applies to hellions. the harlequins would not be able to reroll distance or init checks for hit and run. (although the baron himself could)

Yeah, and for 105pts (IIRC, as I say I'm not a DE player) he's a decent bargain, even before his +1 to the roll off for turns. Forgot about his PFP at the time of writing.
